If you are operating a pool, you will be aware of the Ethereum London Fork and its most important improvement proposal, EIP-1559.

Remember to download the latest version of your Ethereum client and to manually change your gas limit target to twice what it currently is. This is because once London is live, the block size will be doubled and EIP-1559 will keep blocks about 50% full. This can be done without restarting your node, on all clients which offer mainnet-compatible mining. For example, if prior to London you were a targeting a block size of 15,000,000 gas, you will now need to target a 30,000,000 gas limit to maintain the same amount of transactions per block, on average.

You can check the official Ethereum documentation for more information here.

This only concerns pool operators, other users of NiceHash do not need to do anything, mining will continue as usual.

The London Network upgrade is scheduled on 5th of August, 2021 at Ethereum block height 12,965,000 at approximately 13:55 CEST. You can follow the countdown on our Crypto halving & forking countdowns.
